The invention provides a mechanically-rechargeable single-cell consumer electric battery for generating up to two volts, the battery being capable of electrical recharge and comprising a replaceable zinc anode, a housing containing the anode and provided with an aperture sealed by a removable closure, the aperture being sufficiently large to allow removal and replacement therethrough of at least the zinc anode, a cathode selected from the group consisting of manganese dioxide, nickel hydroxide, silver oxide, and air reduction types also contained in the housing, a non-spillable electrolyte in contact with both cathode and anode, and a separator system physically separating the anode from the cathode. <IMAGE> |
